i saw a western made movie when i was young.
for some reason i associate it with the last emperor and empire of the sun, which came out around the same time. it was set around a similar era.
only this movie had opium addicts in it - specifically, a woman who was sort of a femme fatale - and eventually she lost it all smoking opium and become totally violent and insane.
ring any bells? i think it may have even been nominated for academy awards. |

I'm thinking the Soong Sisters which is better known as a book but had a film made out of it. Doubt it won any awards though..
as I recall of the 3 sisters one marries Sun Yatsen and one marries C. Kaishek. One of them later goes nuts on opium.
mmmm --staring to bug me---hope someone knows for sure. |
